Kidderminster Harriers v Gateshead

National League, game week 8 — UK time

Step 3 of 4 — Goals, and when they come.

Skip to the appraisal — and the market

Kidderminster Harriers: 7 league matches in the bank. Gateshead: 50 league matches in the bank, 7 from this season and the rest from last season.

The question this step asks

Step three is GOALS, AND WHEN THEY COME. Not just how many each side scores and lets in, but the minute bands they come in, who lands the first blow, what each side does after falling behind, and who finds goals late. A side that concedes early and scores late reads very differently from one that does the opposite, at the same goal difference.

Side by side: Kidderminster Harriers scores most in the 76-90+ band (4 of 12); Kidderminster Harriers concedes most in the 16-30 band (4 of 7); Gateshead scores most in the 46-60 band (12 of 57); Gateshead concedes most in the 76-90+ band (27 of 96). Who lands the first blow and who lands the last is the question this step exists to ask.
